From Runaway Bride to Global Queen

Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Drunk

A greasy, blackened hand reached for Qiao Yi’s face, her vision blurred and subconsciously trying to dodge, but Feng Siyu, who was standing unsteadily beside her, pulled on her arm making it impossible for her to avoid.

Under normal circumstances, Qiao Yi wouldn’t care about a few petty thugs.

But now, she couldn’t even keep her body upright, let alone fight back, so she could only watch helplessly as the hand drew nearer and nearer. @@novelbin@@

Just as the hand was about to touch Qiao Yi’s face, the chubby guy who reached out suddenly screamed, flying backward and hitting two people before falling down.

Qiao Yi tried hard to keep her eyes open; she could only see that the person in front was handsome and seemed a bit familiar.

With her brain feeling like mush, it took Qiao Yi a while to belatedly realize who the man in front of her was.

...

“Lu Yanchuan… you came… hehe…”

Qiao Yi grinned oddly, Lu Yanchuan just about to say something, but the thugs he kicked away had already gotten up and charged towards him, roaring.

A flash of impatience swept through Lu Yanchuan’s eyes; turning around, he performed a sweeping kick, sending the fastest runner flying back, and seizing the moment when the others were still unreactive, he knocked out the remaining few with one punch each.

They say a serious man is the most charming, but a man fighting is charming too, only the drunk Qiao Yi couldn’t appreciate it.

The few thugs lay on the ground, holding their arms and howling in pain, while Lu Yanchuan took out his phone to call the cops, then came over to check on Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi was just swaying there, not injured.

But she was so drunk, it was hard to tell how much she had imbibed.

Gu Ting finally came back by car, seeing the thugs scattered on the ground, and Lu Yanchuan standing by Qiao Yi with a dark expression, he immediately understood what had happened.

He thought that with so many people around at the night market, no incidents would occur, and he was just going to get the car, which would only take a few minutes.

But who would have thought that such an incident would occur in such a crowded place!

Luckily Lu Yanchuan appeared just in time, otherwise, Gu Ting couldn’t even imagine what might have happened!

If something terrible had really occurred, Gu Ting would have lived in regret for the rest of his life.

“Thank you.”

Gu Ting bowed deeply and earnestly to Lu Yanchuan, who frowned, glanced at him, pushed Feng Siyu aside, took Qiao Yi in his arms, and walked away.

“Leave these people to you; I’ve already called the police.”

With the Gu Family’s capabilities, handling these thugs was easy, there was no need for Lu Yanchuan to stay; taking Qiao Yi back to sober up was the priority.

Lu Yanchuan carried her all the way to his car, and Ma Yu was surprised to see Qiao Yi being carried by Lu Yanchuan.

He had a feeling that such surprises would not be scarce in the future.

“Go to Ting City.”

Ting City Gardens, one of the most luxurious and high-end residential areas in the Capital City, known for its elegant environment and top-notch security.

The community is located in the most luxurious area of Capital City, covers a large area, but only houses twenty residences – all are detached villas, maintaining tranquility amid the bustling city.

Developed by an unknown company, even the Lu Family couldn’t secure a house in Ting City Gardens; only the most powerful, influential, and wealthy people live here.

I heard that this area was originally planned to be developed into a private vacation resort, but the government did not approve, and after two years of back and forth, it had to be changed into a villa district.

As the car drove into Ting City Gardens, it felt like entering a mini jungle, with only a road wide enough for vehicles to pass side by side, and tall greenery on both sides, walking here is just like walking in a forest.

Beyond these trees, you can vaguely see some villas nestled in the woods.

Each villa has a private road in front of its door, with a security scanner at the connection to the main road that determines whether the car can enter the premises of this household.

Of course, if you want to get out of the car and enter the password, that’s also not impossible.

Lu Yanchuan’s house is located near the middle; it took a while driving before turning onto the exclusive road of the villa.

Qiao Yi was fidgeting uncomfortably in Lu Yanchuan’s arms, clutching at his clothes and mumbling something incomprehensible.

Lu Yanchuan looked up unhappily; Ma Yu caught the signal from his boss from the rearview mirror and was instantly speechless.

He was already driving the car as fast as he could, and yet he’s still being accused of slow driving!

You do it if you’re so capable! If not, stop complaining!

Ma Yu only dared to think this to himself lightly because he felt that Lu Yanchuan could tell what he was thinking just from the back of his head.

Finally, they arrived in front of the villa; Lu Yanchuan helped Qiao Yi out of the car, and she seemed to completely let herself go, immediately pushing away Lu Yanchuan and running into the yard.

In the large yard, Qiao Yi ran around twice, then unexpectedly ran back to Lu Yanchuan’s side, gasping for breath and stretching out her arms wanting to be held.

“Pfft—”

Ma Yu covered his mouth, anxiously avoiding Lu Yanchuan’s deadly glare.

Lu Yanchuan bent down and without a single sign of displeasure picked up Qiao Yi, already deciding that she would never be allowed to touch a drop of alcohol again without him by her side.

Qiao Yi fussed until she finally fell asleep, refusing to sleep alone, insisting on sleeping only if Lu Yanchuan held her.

Lu Yanchuan always felt himself to be someone who dislikes disturbances, yet being tossed around by Qiao Yi tonight, aside from feeling resigned, surprisingly he felt not a bit of annoyance, truly astonishing.

Even Lu Yanchuan himself was taken aback.

Qiao Yi slept all the way to noon the next day, and upon awakening, her head was pounding painfully.

Her memory stopped at the image from last night of her and Feng Siyu angrily cursing at Qiao Xin, what happened after?

Qiao Yi sat dazedly on the bed, already dressed in pajamas, even her underwear had been changed!

She had seen all the rooms she had slept in before and none matched the room she was now in, nor any room in any house she knew!

Had she been kidnapped?

What about Feng Siyu? Gu Ting? Had they been kidnapped too?

When Lu Yanchuan entered the room, he saw Qiao Yi disheveled and bewildered, clutching the pillow, looking as though she had just woken up, yet still in a dream.

Qiao Yi stiffly raised her head to look at Lu Yanchuan, seeing him in homewear and opened her mouth to ask, “Yesterday, did you bring me home?”

This was a blatantly brainless question; Lu Yanchuan, who never dignifies fools with a response, dropped a sentence and turned to leave.

“Your clothes are in the dressing room, car keys at the doorway.”
